They’ve lied to you about your purpose https://www.spreaker.com/episode/equinox-of-purpose--70741318 They told you it was something you had to hunt down, hustle for, and build from scratch. They handed you a heavy bag of expectations, pointed you toward a steep hill, and called it a "career path." But today is Friday. Today is Nia. And today, the universe sits in the perfect, quiet balance of the Equinox. What if your true calling isn't found by adding more to your plate? What if the path to your highest self requires you to stop trying so hard to be everything to everybody? We spend so much of our lives accumulating titles, masks, and burdens that we bury the very thing we were born to do. It’s time to stop building and start unearthing. Listen to the latest episode to explore why your greatest power lies in what you are willing to walk away from. Call to Inaction: Proverb: "The river does not force its way through the mountain; it simply lets go of the banks and fl...

Do You Have Skin In The Game
We have entered the week of Kuumba in the fourth cycle of 2022. I hope that you are enjoying the content that I am pulling together for you. I decided that rather than trudge through everyday and create something new, why not take some time and begin to go through some of the old content. Rewatch and listen and see if there is anything that I can pull out, and then begin to write about. This also gives me a chance to enforce upon myself some of the ideas that I have had over the years. If you are getting anything from this please like, share, and spread the word. By the way, make sure that you checkout FreeGNJecourse.com and get on our email list as well.
Introduction
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “you have to put skin in the game”. In order to do anything great in life we need to be willing to risk something and put our hearts on the line. It doesn’t mean that we have to give up everything but it does mean we have to sacrifice what matters less so it doesn't stand in the way of what matters most.
What exactly do I mean by having skin in the game? It means you risk something to have something. It also comes down to commitment, focus, and determination. How bad do you want it? Who are you willing to become?

I'm not talking about committing yourself to a gym membership or a diet plan. I'm talking about truly
committing your mind, body, spirit and resources to making your dreams come true through consistent action over time. And if that isn't enough—if you still need another reason why having skin in the game is important—consider this: If you don't have skin in the game then who does?
When we have skin in the game we’re willing to sacrifice more. If there is no sacrifice there’s no reward. It comes back to the fact that success is not a spectator sport. We have to jump into the game, give it 100% and get our arms around it.
When we have skin in the game we’re willing to sacrifice more. If there is no sacrifice there’s no reward. It comes back to the fact that success is not a spectator sport. We have to jump into the game, give it 100% and get our arms around it. When you understand this concept you will be able to ask yourself the most important question: What do I want? Once you figure that out then you can start asking yourself what it's going to take for me to get there. If there's no cost associated with something then it doesn't matter. If there is no pain, there is no growth. Growth is a process of breaking down and rebuilding yourself as an individual. You can’t build muscle without tearing it down first. The same thing goes for our self-confidence, confidence comes from being comfortable in your own skin but that doesn't happen overnight and it won't happen unless we expose ourselves to a little bit of discomfort from time to time.
Our lives are built on habits, good or bad ones and these habits shape who we become over time; this is why it's important for us to push ourselves out of our comfort zone every once in a while because if we don't then we will never grow into the person that God has designed us to be! If we want to create real freedom in life and build a tribe then we must sacrifice. We need to take a long hard look at our daily habits and find what time wasters are getting in our way of achieving our goals.
Conclusion
Ultimately, if we want to create real freedom in life and build a tribe then we must sacrifice what matters less so it doesn’t stand in the way of what matters most. We need to take a long hard look at our daily habits and find what time wasters are getting in our way of achieving our goals.
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...
The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
